"1325 Award" - Advancing Gender Equality in Conflict & Peacekeeping

While on daily basis many women making history, doing peace work, constructing civil societies and redefining gender roles, very few are being recognized for the work they do. It is energizing to hear that this time, an amazing women from Liberia won the 2006 " 1325 Award". The award is given to an individual or a civil society organization in a conflict zone to promote the women's human rights and to increase political participation and presence at the decision making and peace negotiations.

The UN Security Council Resolution 1325 which was adopted unanimously on women, peace and security on the day of October 31st, 2000 is one of the important UN Resolutions that deserves to be more learned and recognized.

Etweda Cooper, a human right activist from Liberia who is also called "Sugars" is known for her speaking out: "she shows no remorse for her stance on issues of politics and human rights as they relate to women and children. Because of her leadership skills and ability to quickly organize and mobilize she proved to be the right person to let out the frustration of women who were being victimized during the hay days of the civil war in Liberia".Elahe

Hey, I'm Christine and I found this blog through the links both on Calstuff and on the Iran Decal blog (I'm in the class). I was wondering if you'd be willing to crosslink, seeing as we both keep somewhat Berkeley-related blogs (I'd have to argue that mine is sexier). Check out my blog, see if you like it, and then let me know if you would like to link to one another. Just leave a comment on my blog if you're interested, and I will get back to you.

Also, you might want to check out the new edition of the Berkeley Jewish Journal, which has a few articles about Iranian issues.

"I have been using Advanced Gain Pro for 3 months now and I must say I'm simply amazed. I really didn't think the product would have this many benefits. I really only purchased the pills to help the reliability of my erections. But to my surprise every aspect of my penis and sex life has improved. I have larger, harder erections easily, and I can really satisfy my girlfriend fully now."
